We discuss a Tribeca standout and look back on the good, the bad, and the “Soft and Quiet” of 2023’s cinematic offerings so far.
Soft & Quiet
Before we talk about movies, we talk about the passing of author Corman McCarthy. One of the best American writers of all time, McCarthy’s influence on cinema cannot be overstated. He was unconventional, but he was a true credit to American literature.
Then it’s on to horror movie news.
Remember when Fede Alvarez was a good director? A lot of people seem to since, whenever they talk about him, they are sure to mention 2013’s Evil Dead. That was a decade ago, and he has not done anything worthwhile since. This is just part of the reason his upcoming Alien remake has us worried.
Those aren’t the only complaints we had about upcoming movies. Disney recently revealed some changes to their upcoming releases, and it was wild, to say the least. Unsure of what you want to watch in 2031? Looking forward to Blade? Can’t wait to see Rey’s next adventure in the new Star Wars movie? You better have patience.
Then it’s on to our featured movie review.
You’ll Never Find Me
We only reviewed one movie this week, but it is one of the most memorable of the year.
You’ll Never Find Me is a World Premiere from Tribeca that is unafraid to take risks. Lots and lots of risks. Methodical pacing leading to a wild ending, characters you don’t know what to think of, and tomato soup all play a big role in this Australian horror movie.
Our favorite episodes are the ones where we get to go back and recap previous episodes. And the midway point of the year is a great time to look back on the movies we liked the most, could not stand, and left us wanting more. You will be surprised by some of our picks.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
Last week, we talked about Hollywood Dreams and Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story, a look at one of the true icons of genre cinema. There is more to Robert Englund than Freddy Krueger, and this documentary covers it all.

Episode: 367: ‘Speed Demon’ (2026)
Over the years, we have seen and discussed how horror has become more acceptable in the mainstream. This week we talk about two of the most striking examples of this. One is interesting while the other is just straight up weird. But both have us interested.
The idea of a nun who has lost her faith is not strange for an exorcism movie. Having the first introduction of said nun has her completely nude and coked up after a threesome is a little different. After showing off this incredibly buff nun, the awesomely titled Speed Demon takes off from there.
The film is an example of less being more. It does not reinvent the wheel and tells the simple story of a person trying to overcome their personal demons in order to defeat a literal one. And it works thanks to its setting and quick pace.
But it is in the closing moments that Speed Demon truly shines. In a whirlwind of revelations, the most powerful people in the world become entrenched in Sister Lu’s world. It also sets up the promise of what could be an exciting franchise.
